Investigates possibility of nitriding steel below 400 ‘C instead of at 500-600 ‘C, without inducing temper brittleness in core, in the presence of ferrosilicon to increase the degree of dissociation of ammonia and with chromic anhydride to increase the surface temperature of the stock. Increase of Antifriction Properties of Steels by Chlorination. (in Russian) Iu. M. Vinogradov and N. S. Dombrovskaia. Akademiia Nauk SSSR, Izvestiia, Otdelenie Tekhnicheskikh Nauk, 1958, no. I, Jan., 1,. 128-130. Chlorination to reduce friction and wear of machine parts can be done in both gaseous media and in salt baths containing active Cl compounds. A sufficiently high temperature for interaction between Cl and metal is necessary. Pack Chromizing Method Hikes Heat, Wear, CorrosionResistanceonVaried Components. Maurice C. Commanday. WesternMetalwork~ng, v. 16, Jan. 1958, p. 46-48. Parts to be chromized are packed in a boxtype retort prior to being furnace heated. ,\ compound of kaolin or alumina diluent, ferrochromium, and NH41 is used and box is sealed by fusible silicate powder.

Comparison of waterglass and phosphate coatings. I:se of waterglass gave improved die life, greater drawing throughout, better plant conditions, and eliminated need for coppering; however the wire responds poorly to hot-clip galvanizing and wet drawing. Protecting Metals at High Temperatures. .Ilfred F. Hofstatter. Matevials in Design Ekrgineeviq, 1’. 47. Apr. 1958, p. r *,j-1x9. Ceramic coatings are particularly important because of their hardness and resistance to oxidation. Metallic coatings are characterized by their combination of wear and corrosion resistance.
